Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UVA
Mission Statement:
Aware that an active mind is as necessary to a full life as are social relationships and physical exercise, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Virginia offers educational opportunities and intellectual enrichment to active adults in the community. The Institute is member-directed and draws upon its members’ resources, as well as other academic and community resources, to organize courses and other educational activities. In this stimulating environment, members may acquire new knowledge, explore ideas, exercise creativity, and share interests and expertise with others.
Our Commitment to Diversity, Inclusion & Racial Equity

Membership with OLLI at the University of Virginia
We welcome all active adults and seniors who are interested in lifelong learning with several ways to participate: classes and courses, special lectures, volunteer, teach for OLLI, join a Shared Interest group and attend an outing or a special event. There are no prerequisites to join OLLI, educational or otherwise, only a desire to continue learning and growing!
